@the-real-kapeefer Dude? Seriously? Don’t do that to me again. I wrote a page long rant on why not to use the message bible because of you. 😛
Ah well. I was able to apply my biblical doctrine class to all this, sooo…

And can I please point out that one verse.

John 1:14 rewrite : “The word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood.”
XD

@joy-schmidt Hey! Another thing I just thought of today… you know how you like to be satisfied, and how finishing the planning does that for you. Well, my ultimate satisfaction from writing is word count. I’ve been keeping a journal of how many words I’ve written for each of my writing sessions, and keeping track of how many words a day I write…[Read more]

“The Message is not a translation, nor can it strictly be said to be a paraphrase of the original languages of the Bible.” gotquestions.org

Before I go on a rant of my opinions of the Message bible… @rolena-hatfield Does it go against the forum rules to talk about this? Rule one, to be exact? I just want to make sure…

@jess-penrose Agreed. KJV is accurate, and although no extremely literal to the Greek, it is still as we say, accurate. I use ESV and KJV and NKJV, and although they aren’t the same, they are all correct in biblical doctrine.
@the-real-kapeefer

Oh, and also, a few differences in the wording of a section of the bible does not change the story.

@the-real-kapeefer

@the-real-kapeefer Nooo… You do know that the KJV is one of the most accurate and to-the-text-bible translations we have, right?

@xonos-darkgrate I feel you. I just have so many worlds swirling around in this head of mine just waiting to be dumped onto a blank page. 😜

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have read The Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen and I loved it!!

@kballen
Hello and welcome! YAS!!! Harry Potter! *virtual high-five* Best. Books. Ever. (Besides all the other ones.) Do you happen to know what house you’re in?
All you gotta do for emojis is just make the little faces with your keyboard. : ) (without the space) will give you 🙂 .
Anyway, have a great time on KP!

@epicaddie2 If you want action stories, go the Bible. 😀 We did Judges a few summers ago in my youth group, and I’m glad we did. 🙂

Whoopsy. @xonos-darkgrate

@xonos-darkgate
Hello and welcome to the bestistiestistist place on the internet! Do you have a WIP (Work In Progress)? If so what’s it about? (Nice poem, by the way.)

@the-real-kapeefer He’s not made up or fake. He was a real judge in the book of Judges, that God used to save His people from oppression.

Judges 3:14-23
So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a…[Read more]

@daeus Yes, but you’re not saying that writing is a drudgery are you? A hobby can be hard and still fun at the same time.

@joy-schmidt I don’t really know what to say. The other two Chosen Ones seem to be a bit more knowledgeable than I am. However, if you’re satisfied with you’re plot, then I’d try writing the first few chapters, and see if you…[Read more]

@amy-l-klob Well, the name Dragon Snapper doesn’t come from a story I’m writing. Just a matter of everyday life. 😀
Eek. Don’t worry; I’m American!

@epicaddie2 No, don’t worry. I’m with you, although I’m right-handed. (tell Daniel about the judge Ehud from Judges!)
@the-real-kapeefer I have my ways. *shrugs rather nonchalantly* I’d like to see you try. Now be nice.

@daeus I slightly disagree with that. We should right because it’s fun. But when we do it for a job, then we should right because it’s our job. I write because it’s fun.

@rolena-hatfield

But I’m already booked with reading this month.

Is that a pun? 😀 XD
